Head of DOGE Elon Musk has received a new $38,858,978 government contract for his company SpaceX. Musk is self-determining his own conflicts of interest. - ThreadSky

Are you actually going to fight back or just whine on here about it? A good start would be Jeffries and Schumer stepping down, and leadership going to AOC and Bernie. The people have spoken.

Do you think maybe someone should be asking our former allies to send us some special assin squads? Asking for a friend.

reply

piperdown.bsky.social•9 days ago

I think one of our former allies should just declare war on us and win. Then we can draw and quarter.

Yall are content to wait. Jeffries and Schumer are either lazy, feckless, or seek to reap their own benefits as oligarchs. This country is abandoning the working class. Good luck to us all, I guess. We’re on our own.
